    We had a wonderful time dinning here on thanksgiving. Food was fantastic. We got the eggplant appetizer, the butternut squash soup and their signature ground lamb appetizer. The lamb was my least favorite because it was just too gamy for me. I’m middle eastern and eat a lot of ground beef like that but this one just wasn’t one i would ever order again. For dinner i got the bone in fillet which was also wonderful. We had the chocolate baklava and it was delicious. Definitely a great restaurant. I had the Aegean margarita, so delicious.

    Dining at A La Turka is always a consistently great experience. Our party of five had the zucchini pancakes and falafel appetizers and the lamb chops, swordfish, and lamb shish kebab entrees. The warm seasoned bread is addictive. For dessert, we enjoyed the semolina cake and vanilla ice cream that had a hint of pistachio. Our server was personable and attentive and the ambience is lovely.
